Toshiba DR410 1080p Upconverting Tunerless DVD Recorder Reviews
This recorder is easy to use & is very dependable. I have been very pleased with this recorder. It can read most discs unless they are really messed up. I haven't had to use any discs for coasters as I did with my previous recorder. I highly recommend this recorder. Toshiba DR410 1080p Upconverting Tunerless DVD Recorder. I record tv programs & get a pretty good picture using dvd-rw & dvd-r in EP mode.
Huge difference compare to a regular dvd player. Very happy with the picture quality. Just buy it.
Overall, it is a descent buy as the price is right and it is from a major manufacturer. I bought this two days ago to replace the Philips DVDR 75. Pro: Price, look sturdy (metal casing rather than plastics), easy to use, can upconvert. Con: Only 90 days warranty (took off 1 star for it), the quality for XP is excellent (only one hour on a disc) and the quality for SP is pretty good. (2 hours) but anything below is horrible (just as cnet review says), the upconverting ability is marginal, the machine only creates title menu as a list with no picture snapshots (took off 1 star for it), coaxial output only. (It won't take the new 16x DVD+R).
The 100 page manual explains EVERYTHING in great detail. I said that I received it broken.they basically said. The Toshiba DR410 recorder arrived broken.
I don't recommend the procedure to the neophyte). . For $118.00 from Amazon, it's a satisfactory and fairly priced unit. I could "hear" that the problem was mechanical so why not give it a try. As a DVD player and recorder it does everything expected of it. CALL TOSHIBA, NOT YOUR RETAIL DEALER IF THE UNIT DOESN'T WORK.(I'm paraphrasing). They said "Send it back to us at YOUR expense". After setting it up, all I heard were gears grinding when I pressed the disk door open/close button.
A big notice in the box said: STOP. I then planned on returning it to Amazon, who would have replaced the unit at absolutely no cost to me. "tough.you still pay shipping.". I reassembled everything and it's been running fine ever since. All the electronic bells and whistles work but it does have a rather "cheap" feel to it. But being an old mechanical engineer I decided to see if I could fix it. So I called Toshiba. So I took the cover off, removed the disk playing mechanism (4 screws) and very gingerly unjammed the gears.(one must be very careful here.
I had to return it, so did not get to use it, but give it 2 stars based on all the hassle I went through and, although the Toshiba tech guy was helpful, this should be explained on the box or in the online information. We are not all techies out here. Be warned, you cannot use this dvd player/recorder if you have a cable connection but DO NOT have a cable BOX. After trying for an hour to figure out how to hook this up, I called the Toshiba 800 number and he said that this is one of their most frequent calls. Sales people do not tell customer this in advance and the box does not warn you. The problem is this dvd machine does not have a 'tuner' in it, so, if no cable box, you cannot hook up to this machine, period. Nowhere does the product tell you this in advance so - what a hassle.
